The first bend on the 21st fret should go up to the E (24th fret).I am not sure if I bend that much.I have the strength tho bend it.Its just that i'm worried that the string might snap.When i tried it i could hear a click kind of sound and it sounded like the string was going to snap so i just let go. I'm using gauge 9 strings. What am i supposed to do? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

What sort of guitar do you have ? Sometimes rubbing some pencil lead in the grooves where the string passes through can improve this. That particular string bend is fine.. a whole tone and a half bend is not anything to be worried about. With gauge 9 strings people can bend even 2 whole tones.

Regarding bending one and a half step, just take it easy, it is doable through practice. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You should get used to it over time and with practice. Generally you shouldn't worry much that strings will snap - they are much more powerful then they seem. Practice this kind of bend slowly on different strings to gain some strength. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
